You Nearly Did Me In
(ian hunter)
See lonely shadows - silver needles
Abandoned in the evening war
Lost children of the night - come catch the candle bright
I hear a hollow sound - falling to the ground - shes lost before shes found
Sad broken angels takin rainbows
Out on the street for all to see
If we are the chosen few - what ever happened to
All those things we knew, if this is being free -
Id rather search for me
Chorus
You nearly did, you nearly did, you nearly did
You nearly did me in, you nearly did me in
And I need some place to hide - my weary anger down
Out on some misty distant highway
Feel like I though a million miles
Is my search nearly done - I think I see someone
I get the urge to run on blindly through the rain,
And I fool myself again
Chorus
What ever happened to dignity
What ever happened to integrity
What ever happened to honesty
Well Ill tell you something baby - I feel the pain just like the sea
Chorus

Could It Be You (Fortyleg Bite)
COULD IT BE YOU FEATURING KY-MANI MARLEY
for such a long time there was nobody
i had only myself to please
i never needed anyone at all
then you came - it felt like a breeze
a breeze of sunshine and a breath of light
suddenly i knew i was wrong
my heart beats faster, what a nice surprise
i'll be holdin' on ...
... feels like i knew you before
feels like there's a treat in store
it happened just overnight
i cannot wait anymore
it feels so naturally right
CHORUS
could it be you, baby, that i was searchin' for
could it be you, baby, who makes me search no more
could it be you, baby, that i was lookin' for
could it be you, could it be true, could it be you
could this be love now, between you and me
do i care? i do possibly
and all that matters is you bein' there for me
feed my dream of eternity
i wanna know you like i know myself
make me feel like nobody else
you give me freedom, make me act so strong
i'll be holdin' on ...
... feels like i knew you before
feels like there's a treat in store
it happened just overnight
i cannot wait anymore
it feels so naturally right
CHORUS
am i dreamin or is this reality
havin you right next to me
what is the meaning of this feel i feel
could it mean that this love is real
i was lost on a lonely road
prayin for some peace, for some guide
youre like an angel on a ray of light
there you were in front of my eyes
... feels like i knew you before
feels like there's a treat in store
it happened just overnight
i cannot wait anymore
it feels so naturally right

Red Box
Why don't you look at the price I'm paying?
Walk in, take a look inside,
I've moved back the tables and chairs to the wall.
The valuable things I've had to hide.
Chorus:
Open up the red box.
Come on, open it up.
Open up the red box.
Come on, open it up.
Peer in, looking for that crasher again.
You ruined Terry's party last night.
An overweight greasy little man with a mouth
That opens more than now and again.
(Chorus)
Something good must have happened to you.
If you would let it happen to you,
If you could let it happen to you,
Something good would have happened.
Lopez, I hate you for the state you're in.
Lopez, your hair, it washes out, it washes in.
You ropey little fat boy, Lopez.
Come on get lost.
(Chorus)
Something good must have happened to you.
If you would let it happen to you,
If you could let it happen to you,
Something good would have happened.
I'm out of my head.

Every Day
Every day I see him coming
Every day he walks on by
Life used to be so plain and simple
Before he came into my life
Every night I keep on dreaming
Every night I take him home
We always go to bed together
I always wake up all alone
Chorus:
Oh its strange, so strange
What hes doing to me
Oh its strange so strange
Did this ever happen to you
The way it has happened to me
The way it just happened to me
Every day outside my window
Always minutes close to eight
I wish he stayed a little longer
But his bus is never late
Every night were dancing slowly
I play the music he adores
Like Sinatra then were talking
All important things for sure
Chorus:
Oh its strange so strange
What hes doing to me
Oh its strange so strange
Did this ever happen to you
The way it has happened to me
The way it just happened to me
Oh its strange so strange
What hes doing to me
Oh so strange real strange
Did this ever happen to you
The way it has happened to me
The way it just happened to me

Remember
Seems like the other day
My baby went away
She went away, 'cross the sea
It's been two years or so
Since i saw my baby go
And then this letter came from me
It said that we was through
She found somebody new
Oh, let me think, let me think
What should i do
(chorus)
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no no no no no
(remember), walking in the sand
(remember), walking hand in hand
(remember), the night was so exciting
(remember), her smile was so inviting
(remember), the she touched me cheek
(remember), with her fingertips
(remember), softly
Softly we met with a kiss
Whatever happened to
The gal that i once knew
The girl that said, she'd been true
Oh, whatever happened to
The night i gave it to you
What did i do with the night
Oh...
(chorus)
Whatever happened to
That girl that i once knew
That girl that said, she was true
Whatever happened to
That night i gave it to you
What would you do with the night

What Happened To Us?
I thought it was to good to be true
I found somebody who understands me
Someone who would help me get to through
And fill an emptiness I had inside me
But you kept inside, and I just denied
Some things that we should have both said
I knew it was to good to be true
Cuz i'm the only one who understands me
What happened to us?
We used to be so perfect
Now we're lost and lonely
What happened to us?
And deep inside I wonder
Did I lose my only...
Remember they thought we were to young
To really know what it takes to make it
But we had survived all what we have done
So we could show them all that they're mistaken
But who could have known, the lies that would grow
Until we could see right through them
Remember they knew we were to young
We still don't know what it takes to make it
What happened to us?
We used to be so perfect
Now we're lost and lonely
What happened to us?
And deep inside I wonder
Did I lose my only one
We could have made it work
We could have found a way
We should have done our best
To see another day
But we kept it all inside
Until it was to late
And now we're both alone
The consequence we pay
For throwin' it all away (x2)
What happened to us?
We used to be so perfect
Now we're lost and lonely
What happened to us?
And deep inside I wonder
Did I lose my only...
What happened to us? (x4)

Calling All Angels
Written by jeff jones
Calling, calling all angels, oh Im calling, calling all angels
The night was still, the moon was bright when he saw a distant light
So he started walkin till he found a church outside of town
And he stumbled in and closed the door, said why Im here, Im not sure
Its my baby that Im lookin for, cant she see Im down on my knees
Ive been calling, calling all angels, bring my baby back
Oh you must know where shes at, tell me what to do, I know shes one of you
Im down on my knees, tell her please, that I love her so
Tell me preacher, man to man, will you do all that you can
Ive done wrong, this I know, and I really hurt her so
Its a lonely world Im livin in, an ocean of tears I been cryin
In this greatest hour of need, what can be done for a fool like me
Oh, Im calling, calling all angels, bring my baby back
Oh you must know where shes at, yes Ive been a fool
And I know that shes one of you, now do this for me, tell her please
And if shes lonely Ill make her understand
That these arms can carry both of us back to heaven again
Yes Ive been a fool and I know that shes one of you
Do this for me, tell her please
Calling, calling all angels
Hear me calling, calling all angels
Oh Im calling, calling all angels
Hear me calling, calling all angels
Oh Im calling, calling all angels
Hear me calling, calling all angels
Oh Im calling, calling all angels

Spokesman
What happened to dignity
Did it go away again
Like some worn out trend
Well I still defend emotions
What happened to honesty
I dont see it in the top ten
I only see it in what has been
'Cause I still defend devotion
Am I alone
I dont want to rest
I dont want to breathe
When I want to hearabout life
I dont want to hear a spokesman
I dont want a test
I want to believe
The god d*** singer of the song
I dont want to hear a spokesman
What happened to integrity
I dont see it on MTV
All I see is choreography
And I'll never be a dancer
What happened to puberty
Bad skin and insecurity
And who the f*** is Felicity

Am I Alone

You're The Best Thing
I could be discontent and chase the rainbows end
I might win much more but lose all that is mine
I could be a lot but i know i'm not
I'm content just with the riches that you bring
I might shoot to win and commit the sin
I could runaway but i'd rather stay
In the warmth of your smile lighting up my day
That one that makes me say, heh
Chorus
'cos you're the best thing that ever happened
To me and my world
You're the best thing that ever happened
So don't go away
I might be a king and steal my people's things
But i don't for that power crazy way
All that i could rule but i don't check for fools
All that i need is to be left live my way
So listen what i say

From the soul of me
You're the best for me
Come and rock my dreams
But take this change from me

After The Love Has Gone
David foster, jay graydon & bill champlin
For awhile to love was all we could do
We were young and we knew
And our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For awhile we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last
Evry night somethin right
Would invite us to begin the dance
Somethin happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Somethin happened along the way
And yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
Oh oh oh afterthe love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
For awhile to love each other with all
We would ever need
Love was strong for so long
Never knew that what was
Wrong oh baby wasnt right
We tried to find what we had
Till sadness was all we shared
We were scared this affair would lead our love into
Somethin happened along the way
Yesterday was all we had
Somethin happened along the way
What used to be happy is sad
Somethin happened along the way
Oh yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
Oh oh oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
Oh oh oh oh oh oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
Oh woh woh after the love has gone

Can love thats lost be found
Oh woh woh
Oh woh woh after the love has gone

Cant Forget You
Theres a part of me thats dying every time I hear your name
Theres a part of me thats trying to bring back your love again
There are times when I just want to run, but theres no place to hide
Even though mu heart is breaking in a million bits inside
I can make believe that none of this is true
(chorus)
But I cant forget you, cant break free
I only have myself to blame, nothing feels the same without you
Cant you see, we can find tomorrow what we lost yesterday
What we lost yesterday
(verse 2)
There are nights when I lay wide awake thinking of how good it could be
Other nights I dont feel worthy of the love you gave to me
I remember not too long ago we both were here to stay
But it seems it happened overnight when I threw it all away
I can walk away anf find somebody new (repeat chorus)
Hope that I can make you love me once again but I cant forget you

How Can This Be?
Verse1:
What happened to the love we made?
We used to be so good together
And life was just a big parade
And kisses lingered like forever
Now we argue and we fight
It doesnt feel like the middle of the night
When love was all around
Chorus:
How can this be?
Did you lose your heart along the way
Or did I lose me / when you got lost in me
Now the rain comes down, the sun has gone
And I dont know how this can be
The same hearts that were so free
How can this be?
Verse2:
I want so bad to feel so good
I dont think we have reached our limit
I just know I dont wanna have
A single dream if youre not in it
Ive grown accustomed to your face
Ive grown to love you more each passing day
When did this laughter turn to pain?
Chorus
Bridge:
Toy soldiers falling down
I thought we were on solid ground
Is anyone ever?
Can we sacrifice forever?
Or is the pain to much to bear
Without you in my life forever...

Momma
She came up from the country with a smile for everyone
She left her blue horizon just to find another home
A lonely girl whod travelled many days
A lonely heart that could not find a way
(chorus)
And she said momma, its a hard life now youre gone
Momma, its so hard to carry on
And I feel Im a fool who lost it all
You used to make it all so very clear
That life must go on though the end is near
Oh momma, its a sad and lonely life
A misty morning rider she came wandering through the hills
A wanderin soul appearin over rainy window sills
A loser in her heart, but in her face
A smile for everyone under gods grace

Midnight maiden madness, what to search for in this place
Gateway to the city, night sky shadows on her face
A lady lost in nowhere but her stare
Leaves the world, her life to start somewhere

Sorrow About To Fall
Theres a silence in the city
Theres nobody around
And everyone that we knew
Moved to higher ground.
Theres a shadow hanging overhead
It lingers there alone
Changing all we ever knew
The changes start to show.
Chorus:
Theres a sorrow about to fall
Theres a sorrow about to fall.
Theres a new sound in the wires
And ears are to the ground
And everything that once was ours
Has slowly turned around.
Something happened to the seasons
Started falling with the rain
And something changed forever
We gotta find a way.
Repeat chorus
Theres people in the photographs
But they all had to run
They went away to somewhere
Beyond the setting sun.

Shes My Kind Of Rain
Shes my kind of rain
Like love in a drunken sky
Shes confetti falling
Down all night
She sits quietly there
Black water in a jar
Says, baby why are you
Trembling like you are
So I wait
And I try
I confess like a child
Shes my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
Shes my kind of rain
Shes the sun set shadows
Shes like rembrandts light
Shes the history thats made at night
Shes my lost companion
Shes my dreaming tree
Together in this brief eternity
Summer days, winter snows
Shes all things to behold
Shes my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
Shes my kind of rain
So I wait
And I try
I confess all my crimes
Shes my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
Shes my kind of rain
Shes my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
Shes my kind of rain
Shes my kind of rain
Oh, rain on me
Shes my kind of rain
